Session 2: Follow-up on character creation

The group continued to form and decide how they were going to act. The session was spent buying equipment and ensuring that there was a balance of items for each of the adventurers. 

Session 1: New Characters for adventure

This sessions was begun by creating new characters and equipping them. These are the new characters: Trellimar, a rare gray elf druid/cleric. Trellimar is true neutral and in the middle of the middle social class.  Fitz, a half elf fighter/thief. Fitz is also true neutral and he is in the middle of the lower social class.  Lowell is a human ranger. Lowell is neutral good, and in the upper of the lower social class.  Stripes is a dwarven fighter. Stripes is lawful neutral and in the upper of the middle class.  Jalen Starfire is a gray elf cleric/magic-users. Jalen is chaotic good and in the middle of the upper class.  This band of adventurers will be joining their fates together to explore a desert land, travelling to the city of Tanis, known as a locale for adventurers due to the many opportunities to the east and west.
